After the double aces came on the court, Karasuno's lineup immediately became more aggressive. With Asahi in the front row and Hayato in the back row, just the two of them standing on the field at the same time can increase the confidence of everyone in the team.
From left to right are Higashimine, the main attacker in the left half, Kageyama in the middle, secondary attacker Tsukishima in the right half, Hinata, Daichi in the back row, Hayato in the service position, Nishitani in the libero, and Hinata in the secondary attacker rotation. In the third game, Qingcheng served, so Nishitani needed to enter the court to help defend at the beginning.
Since it was Qingcheng's turn to serve, the ball must be served by Oikawa.
The two players in the front row stood in front of the net, ready to block at any time. Kageyama stood slightly behind, and the three behind him stood spread out. The distance was neither too far nor too close. Karasuno had the best catching skills. Of course, a good three-man team should split the ball evenly, so that they can save the ball quickly and prevent collisions due to catching the ball.
"If the opponent who is destined to be defeated becomes the [old enemy], then for Karasuno Aoba Josai is the [old enemy]. The battle stage has reached the last scene, and the victory will be yours. Everyone, surpass Aojo!"
Takeda-sensei’s words before the start of the third game still echo in everyone’s hearts. The past failures and unwillingness are all remembered in their hearts. Now is the time to release them all.
"bring it on!"
Nishitani took the lead in shouting the familiar slogan, and everyone in Karasuno concentrated on facing Oikawa's first jump serve.
Coach Uyang also said that when facing Oikawa's serve, in short, you have to touch the ball. Even if the ball is not good, it doesn't matter. Your teammates will cover it. As long as you catch it, you can still hit it.
"In the final round, let's say hello first!"
Throwing the ball up, Oikawa, who had perfected his touch after two rounds of games, jumped up high and dunked it with his arms amid the cheers of the Qingcheng support group.
"give it to me!"
"Nishigu!"
Dadi shouted Nishiya, and Nishiya shouted "Leave it to me." They both shouted at the same time, making a perfect catch.
"Chance ball!"
"attack!"
Everyone in the substitute area shouted at the top of their lungs, "With Asahi in the front row and Hayato in the back row, who will Kageyama pass to?"
"Senior Dongfeng!"
It was Asahi. Kageyama chose to pass the ball to Asahi at the beginning of the third game. Asahi, who jumped from the left half, was not afraid of the blocks of Aojo Kyotani and Kindaichi. He spiked the ball directly and hit the blocking Kindaichi. , the thug went out of bounds.
"OK!"
"Xu!!"
After successfully interrupting Oikawa's serving rhythm and scoring a counterattack, everyone in Karasuno was extremely excited. Now the rhythm returned to Karasuno's side, and this attack once again proved Asahi's strength.
"The smash is so powerful. It's really difficult to keep up your strength and go on the court."
Oikawa thought with a headache after seeing Asahi's spike.
After regaining the right to serve, Karasuno had to rotate personnel. Tsukishima in the front row changed to the serving position, and Hinata in the back row needed to go to the front row, so Nishitani, who rotated with Hinata, had to leave the court at this time.
Hinata, who was eager to try, moved his hands and feet after coming on the stage, and said that he should be more conspicuous. This is the strongest bait for Karasuno. Asahi next to him smiled slightly when he heard Hinata's words, but Hinata still That Hinata, even though Hayato has become the ace now, he is still working hard and not giving up, that's great.
Thinking of this, Xu also secretly made up his mind to show everyone that even if he was replaced by Hayato as a substitute, his strength was still worthy of the word ace.
Tsukishima's serve was caught by Aoki's libero, and then Kyoutani, who was still in hot form, took a run-up from the extension line. Oikawa gave him the most comfortable ball, a super small diagonal spike to show off his power, and the tricky angle allowed Aoki to recover. one cent.
The two teams fought fiercely at the beginning. With the powerful and experienced ace Iwaizumi, the 'Rabid Dog' who has strong attack power and is very difficult to use as a bait, and Oikawa, Aoki was not at a disadvantage. On Karasuno's side, there is the new ace, Hayato, the strongest decoy Hinata, and the fully-fit third-year ace Asahi who just came on stage. It can be said that whoever shows a slight flaw between the two teams will be devoured.
After the rotation, Qingcheng's server this time was the ace Iwaizumi, a jump serve player who should not be underestimated. Iwaizumi also chose to attack with a jump serve. This time, Karasuno did not have Nishitani in the back row, but they still had their leader Daichi.
Dadi dived forward to save the ball, but because he had to get up, Dadi couldn't participate in the attack.
"Give me!"
But even without Daichi, there was Hinata in the front row. Hinata flew to the net in a swish. Qingcheng's block was already a step too slow. It was at this step that Hinata, who had no one to catch up, received Kageyama's precise pass. The new quick attack was launched at this moment. Oikawa saw Kageyama's pass from the back row, so he was mentally prepared. But facing the new quick attack of these two people, even if he was prepared, whether his body could keep up was still a question.
Oikawa just barely missed the ball and failed to catch it. Hinata and Kageyama teamed up to score a point.
Relying on abundant offense, Karasuno once opened the score to two points, but Qingcheng's side was always able to recover the score when Karasuno wanted to widen the gap. Finally, Hayato rotated to the front row, and he was also in the front row. Kyoutani in the front row faced each other again.
This time Hayato kept reminding himself not to compete with Kyotani. Ignoring the provocative look from the 'rabid dog' opposite, Karasuno's 'vicious bird' folded its wings and prepared to wait for the opportunity to prey.
Then Hinata in the back row gave everyone a surprise. Her serve missed the net and directly gave Qingcheng a point.
"I am so sorry!"
Hinata felt very embarrassed and apologized loudly to everyone. Everyone was well aware of Hinata's serving skills. Everyone comforted Hinata by shouting not to pay attention and play the next ball well.
"Ah, Hinata made a mistake."
Xiaoyu clapped his hands in the stands and said with regret that Hinata had performed very well in the recent games, and Xiaoyu thought Hinata would not make such stupid mistakes.
"Hinata, he does this occasionally because he is still new to volleyball."
Nika quickly explained to Hinata.
Qingcheng, who was lucky enough to score, aimed at Hinata when he served. Asahi, who was also in the back row, helped catch the ball.
"Senior Xu, thank you very much!"
After saying thanks, Hinata prepared to jump from the back row to attack. The ball picked up by Asahi adjusted the path of the ball and passed it to Kageyama.
"Hayato-senpai!"
Hayato, who had been waiting there for a long time, took Kageyama's pass and broke through Qingcheng's block. Kyotani, who was in charge of the block, clicked his tongue in displeasure, but the ball was caught by the libero in the back row, and Qingcheng counterattacked. coming.
Quickly running to Hayato's side, Tsukishima prepared to block the ball with Hayato. Before going on the court, Tsukishima told Hayato that if he faced Kyotani, he would only be responsible for the straight ball. Kyotani's super small diagonal smash was taken by Tsukishima. Others will handle it, but Tsukishima feels that Kyotani on the opposite side will most likely choose a straight smash to confront Hayato head-on.
Sure enough, after Oikawa passed the ball to Kyotani, Kyotani chose to smash the ball in a straight line, hoping to score from Hayato. Tsukishima, who came to help block the ball, didn't even need to change his arm posture. If this ball was spiked by Iwaizumi, then he would definitely He would choose a diagonal shot. At this time, Tsukishima could extend his arm to directly block the ball, but it was not Iwaizumi but Kyoutani who spiked the ball.
The ferocious 'Rabid Dog' chose the most direct and weakest straight-line attack.
Completely blocked, this ball was just like Tsukishima guessed.
